WRAPPER PAD Filed March 23, 1932 protection. 'One remain. so, 1935' UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE- WRAPPER PAD 4 IiudwigClemens, Berlin, Germany Application March 23, 1932, Serial a... 600,114 g objects of all kinds that are sensitive to pressure,

and to a method of producingthe-pad.

In order to protect goods that. have to be shipped against damage various means have been proposed already, but most of these means were either too expensive or failed to give the desired of the main requirements of J the packaging industry, is the provision of-low- I -sisted of covered cellulose wedding-having thev form of pad or cushion,

priced yet effective insertions for the protection of goods, and the insertions hitherto in use conthe 'cover' thereof having the form. of. an envelope of .the type used for letters.

-According to the invention, a pad-is provided surpasses existing'means inlresistance to crushing. This padis composed of indented papers stampe'djn a spherical or connected with the covering layers by having for instance their edges pressed together and pasted 3 by means of a specially gummed and preferably smooth layer ofpaper, the various layers being united by pasting and embossing them iii-pointfashion and causing 'the' indented like or other paper to become-plane again at the points where paste was. applied.

indented papers could not be durably united till now'to form -pads,although this-washighly desirable, since these papers'possess all the qual-- ities of cellulose wedding. They. are at least .just as resistant and-pressure-proof as-wadding and, furthermore, afford the cons-iderableadvantages or low cost of manufacture and low weight whereby: the cost of transportation can: be reduced also. The attempts hitherto made at uniting several layers of indented papers failed, since the various layers invariably and automatic ly became telei0 scoped, so that the compressive strength 01- the layers was practically eliminated. In order to maintain the pressure resisting properties of all layers, the inventionemploys'intermediate layers of plane gummed paper, which-are united with the indented layers .by' embossin it being of gummed according to the type --b. 'Then the indented filler webs and the covering. webs d. are towards the web a which canbe produced at low cost and whiching a form similar to that of the glue wafer-like fashion and In Germany April 4 1930 "1 Claim. (01.154-54) the stamping step immediately after the union ofthe'lay'ers; Fig. 3 shows the individual layers of one embodiment prior to being united; and Fig. 4 is a; view of the finished pad.

Referring to the drawing, a plane web a is w of pad'desired, the glue or paste being appliedby means oi the swabs -c' consisting preferably of permeableysoft and unsized paper,

and superposed thereon. The

next step isto apply heated dies a from above" and below to the superposed layers, the dies hav pp y n means or swabs b.- The application of the hot dies-causes the, glue to pass through the porous, material and to connect the various webs ina durable manner. The size and form of the pads may be chosen at will, and it is further possible to employ several layers of filling of,wadding with covering layers. The covering layers may be composed of papers of the same kind and of the same or different colors, patterns and the like. The-top side of the pad may be covered with fancy paper and the side facing the goods with a suitable plane paper. The front/side and/or the rear side may be printed, embossed or treated in any' other manner, and the paper cov ering may be replaced by a textile fabric, such as silkor the-like. A pad produced in the manner described is equal in efiect to a sewn cushion.

A laminated pad consisting ofalternate layers of plane and indented each other and secured together by discontinuous. areas of adhesive, the laminated pad being embossedat corresponding to said adhesive areas.
